Thermoresponsive polymers and, in particular, LCST polymers, are the most studied and used in drug administration systems. 

Dysfunction of cortical-subcortical dopamine systems is associated with an impaired inhibitory control after chronic drug administration. 

Many postoperative patients require less narcotics when they are able to self-administer a narcotic for pain. Because the self-administration system is under the control of the nurse, who adds the drug to die infusion pump and sets the time interval (or lockout interval) between doses, the patient cannot receive an overdose of the drug. 

The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) is a national vaccine safety surveillance program co-sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). VAERS collects and analyzes information from reports of adverse reactions after immunization. Anyone can report to VAERS, and reports are sent in by vaccine manufacturers, health care providers, and vaccine recipients and their parents or guardians. An example of the VAERS and instructions for completing the form are found in Appendix F. Any clinically significant adverse event that occurs after the administration of any vaccine should be reported. Individuals are encouraged to provide the information on the form even if the individual is uncertain if the event was related to the... 

Over the past decade, the use of polymers in drug delivciy systems has increased dramatically, particularly in site-specific or systematic administration of pharmaceutical agents. This timely reference reviews the properties, synthesis, and formulations of a variety of polymers. 

Apart from dopamine many NTs such as glutamate, GABA, various peptides, adenosine and ACh are all involved in striatal function but their wide distribution in the CNS makes it difficult to restrict any manipulation of their activity to the striatum after systemic drug administration.

The first pertussis whole cell vaccine was a mixture of killed organisms that was associated with frequent local and systemic reactions. In the late 1980s, an acellular pertussis vaccine was introduced that contains purified pertussis components that are immunogenic but associated with fewer adverse reactions. Acellular pertussis vaccine is available in combination with tetanus and diphtheria toxoids. Pertussis is not available as a separate vaccine component. In the spring of 2005, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved tetanus toxoid, reduced diphtheria toxoid, and acellular pertussis vaccines for use in adolescents and adults. 

Because these types of polymeric matrix systems are the simplest to design and the easiest to obtain approval by the Food and Drug Administration, they have been the most extensively studied in the past two decades. Numerous polymers have been evaluated for these types of drug delivery systems and although it would be impractical to present each of these polymers and its specific application to drug delivery, this chapter will review in general the types of polymers used as matrices for drug delivery (1-4). 

To date most drug delivery systems are designed to either overcome a barrier presented by or exploit an opportunity presented by a given route of administration. Often these two accomplishments are complementary. Each of the major routes present a unique set of barriers and exploitable characteristics. Consider the following major routes.
